Why is it difficult to include water vapor in a graph that show is the percent of various gases in the atmosphere?
Water vapor varies from location to location.
Water vapor makes up what percentage of atmospheric?
0 to 4 percent
Explain why it is difficult to include water vapor in a graph that shows the percentages of various gases in the atmosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the air varies considerably depending on climate and weather. In a desert water vapor may account for a tiny fraction of a percent of the air. In a tropical rainforest during a storm water vapor may account for as much as 4% of the air.
How can you have an atmosphere compromised of 78 percent nitrogen 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent others with relative humidity of 4 percent?
When you see a list of the components of air, they refer to DRY air, because the amount of water vapor varies. If the relative humidity is 100% and the temperature is 104F, water vapor would make up 7% of that air. I doubt the dew point has ever hit 104F, so almost certainly it's never been that high and is usually a good bit less. When temperatures drop well into the double digits below 0, there is only a barely-detectable amount of water vapor. So those component lists floating around describes dry air, or the make-up of the air that isn't water vapor. Those numbers are fairly constant whereas if you tried to include water vapor, you couldn't come up with hard numbers because they are all displaced by any water vapor in proportion to how much of the dry air they make up.
How does water vapor enter the air?
Water vapor enters the air as water at the surface evaporates or as plants transpire water vapor from their leaves.
How much water vapor do you brethe?
12 percent
Where does 90 percent of water vapor evaporate from?
90 percent of water vapor evaporate from bodies of water.

Is one hundred percent water vapor in the air?
No, it is always less than one hundred percent.
Why is it difficult to include water vapor in a graph that show is the percent of various gases in the atmosphere?
Water vapor varies from location to location.
What gas has percent by volume 0.0 to 4.0?
water vapor
What does it mean if the relative humidity of air is 25 percent?
the air is holding only 25 percent of the water vapor it can hold at that temperature
What caused water to turn into vapor water?
Water vapors makes up only a few percent of the mass of the atmosphere. However, this small amount of water vapor has in oceans and water bodies changes to a gas, water vapor. The mount of water vapor in the air is called humidity
How much of the earth water is in the oceans?
Ninety six percent of all Earth's water is in the oceans. The rest of Earths' water comes from lakes, rivers, and from vapor in the air.
What percent does water vapor make up of atmospheric gases?
The amount of water vapor in air varies based on the temperature and density of air. The amount of water vapor ranges from a trace amount up to 4%.
What is the water vapor content in the air?
It means how much water vapor is suspended in the air, or how humid it is.
What layer of the atmosphere contains dust water vapor and seventy five percent of all gases?
Dust, water vapor etc are in troposphere. It is the closest layer.
